Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 399 - 398: I Won’t Hurt You

The young Muru Qingfeng and the slender girl stood on the eaves of the house.

Hidden within the girl’s beautiful features was an unmistakable, faint sorrow and sense of loss.

Shen Chen didn’t understand and thought to himself, why is she feeling lost? Could it be that she’s hiding something from me?

No more fireworks blossomed in the sky, and the dark sky returned to a somber gloom.

Looking down from the high pavilion corner, there were fewer people moving on the ground.

The two remained silent, a pervasive silence spreading between them~

In the end, it was Ye Zhi who broke the silence. She gazed thoughtfully towards the direction of the Imperial Prison and said softly, "Xiao Chen, if you ever meet Qin Yin again, could you tell him something?"

The girl’s delicate and tender voice was truly pleasant to the ear.

Shen Chen noticed the melancholy on her face and her pensive gaze, and followed her gaze into the distance. To the southwest, famed places included the National Guardian General Mansion, the Third Grade Silver and Cyan Mansion, the Central State Governor Mansion, the Imperial Prison, and Longhua Temple. His calm visage remained unchanged: "You speak, if fate allows, I will convey it."

Ye Zhi’s eyes glinted slightly, and she murmured, "A few days ago, I had a dream where someone named Qin Yin was by your side, and you ordered him to kill me. So~"

Before she finished speaking, she looked up at the man beside her, who still wore a calm expression.

She swallowed and continued:

"I just want to ask, if anything ever happens, and you want to kill me, could you tell him to secretly disobey and spare me? That dream felt so real, and it scares me a little. Of course, I’ve never done anything to wrong you—I haven’t killed or set fires, we are not enemies."

As she spoke the last words, she felt too embarrassed to continue; her voice became barely audible.

What was she even saying?

Asking Little Traitor’s subordinate, Azure Dragon, to betray him, and even saying it right in front of him...

Ye Zhi wished she could bite off her own unruly tongue, a pang of regret on her peach-blossom face.

Words once spoken are like water poured out, impossible to take back.

Shen Chen listened, his calm face still indifferent, his gaze dark and cold: "Do you believe in that dream? Do you think I would harm you?"

Ye Zhi awkwardly laughed, "No, I’m just speaking casually."

His cool brown eyes glanced at her, after a moment of silence he said, "There won’t be such a thing; I will not harm you."

Ye Zhi, a bright smile on her face, suggested sweetly, "Then why don’t you agree to my earlier request? Next time you see Qin Yin, just tell him. If nothing else, bring him here, and I will tell him personally that we are close friends, we grew up as childhood sweethearts, letting him know my place in your heart."

After the New Year, Little Traitor will embark on his official career, advancing steadily.

To him, the Ye Mansion has no utility value.

[Concubine’s Favor] Within the book, Shen Chen is depicted as a scholar with commanding influence over the court. His character is summarized in eight words: "Vengeful for the slightest grievance, meticulous about petty details."

Ye Zhi still found it incredulous that the young Muru Qingfeng in front of her, bright as the moonlight, aside from his perpetually stern face, looked every bit a fine young man. At Upper Imperial College, he was often named a model student by the teachers.

How could he become the ruthless male lead in the future??

Could she have transmigrated into a fake book?

Subconsciously, Shen Chen did not want Ah Zhi to meet Qin Yin.
